A Queens man who kicked an NYPD sergeant in the head Tuesday night during a drug arrest on Staten Island apologetically tried to convince police to let him go with only a summons, authorities said.

"I'm really drunk. I'm sorry about fighting with you." Brayon Yarbrough, 25, allegedly told police after he was taken into custody. "I'm sorry I kicked one of you in the head. Can I get a DAT?"

A DAT is police shorthand for a "desk appearance ticket," which police issue to suspects charged with a minor crime or violation.

Authorities say Yarbrough was hanging out at the corner of Henderson Avenue and Alaska Street in West Brighton at about 8:35 p.m., with a marijuana blunt in his hand.

When a police cruiser approached him, he asked, "Got a light, officer?" according to a law enforcement source.

The officers got out of their vehicle, and Yarbrough tried to swallow the blunt, the source said. When they told him to spit it out, he spat at the police instead, then started punching and kicking, the source said.

One of the kicks hit a sergeant in the head, giving the sergeant a black eye, court papers allege.

Yarbrough is charged with second-degree assault, a felony, as well as third-degree assault, resisting arrest and second-degree harassment, all misdemeanors.
